It's crazy that these strikes are happening given that all the writers and actors are asking for is less than 0.3% of the revenue these studios make.

[eurenvision]

So Prismo got recast in the Fionna and Cake show cuz Kumail Nanjiani's agents didn't let him know the crew was trying to get him back to reprise the role

[eurenvision]

She gone girled irl

[eurenvision]

heartbreaking: local thing has to leave the house even though it is so tired and sleepy and full of joint pain

[eurenvision]

"oh but your favorite shows are going to be delayed by the strikes" my favorite shows consistently get cancelled after 2 excellent seasons bc of the exploitive corporate greed that these strikes are fighting against

Tmblrvision 2023 Announcement #4: Venue, Presenters, Running Order, and Live Show Date!

32 songs have been submitted to compete in Tmblrvision 2023. It's time to announce the venue, presenters, running order, and most importantly, the date and time of the live song reveal show!

Venue

The venue for Tmblrvision 2023 is Millennium Stadium (also known as Principality Stadium) in Cardiff, Wales. Opened in 1999, Millennium Stadium has hosted numerous sporting events including the 1999 Rugby World Cup Final, football matches during the 2012 Summer Olympics, and the 2017 UEFA Champions League Final. It has also hosted and will host large-scale concerts by artists such as Ed Sheeran, Stereophonics, Beyoncé, Coldplay, Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, and Foo Fighters.

Presenters

Two iconic Welsh singers from two different generations will be presenting Tmblrvision 2023!

Bonnie Tyler is a legend whose biggest hits came in the 1970s and 1980s. Some of her greatest hits include Total Eclipse of the Heart, Holding Out for a Hero, and Believe in Me.

MARINA aka Marina aka Marina Diamandis aka Marina and the Diamonds is a singer-songwriter who broke through in the 2010s. Her biggest hits include Hollywood and Primadonna.

Running Order

The running order was drawn on 25 July 2023. As is tradition, the position orders for both the host country Wales and the winner's choice Ireland were randomised beforehand, while the other 30 were drawn into halves and then a particular position. You can view the live running order allocation draw here or below.

Live Song Reveal Show Date

The live song reveal show will be on Saturday next week, 12 August 2023, at 20:00 CEST. Posts including postcards will be posted on this website/Tumblr, while a live viewing of the participating songs - including a live chat - will be on SyncTube; the link will be shared next week.

See you next week in Cardiff!

TMBLRVISION SONG CONTEST 2023 SIGN-UPS START NOW!!!

[eurenvision]

A Guide to Signing Up for Tmblrvision 2023

In THREE DAYS, on Saturday, 15 July 2023, 9pm CEST, you will be able to sign up for the 2023 Tmblrvision Song Contest. In order to be able to prepare yourselves for that day, here’s a little guide so your experience goes smoothly this Saturday.

1. Read the Rules

Before you even think about signing up, make sure to read the official rules of the 2023 contest. Don’t go into sign-ups blind! You might think you have the perfect song for the perfect country, but alas, it might not even be eligible. And make sure you know what you’re getting into as a Head of Delegation. Also, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions to clarify certain things before signing up, so you don’t end up taking someone else’s spot (and country) only to drop out over a misunderstanding.

Here’s a TL;DR of some of the most important, basic rules:

Songs must have been released no earlier than July 2021 (with some exceptions mentioned in the rules)

Eurovision songs, Junior Eurovision songs, and National Final songs are not allowed

Covers of popular songs are not allowed

This year’s Eurovision artists are not allowed (with some exceptions mentioned in the rules)

Last year's Tmblrvision artists are not allowed (also with some exceptions); you can check who those artists are in the Tmblrvision wiki

2. Ireland Has Been Claimed

Last year's winning Head of Delegation has chosen Ireland as their Winner's Pick, meaning nobody else can claim it on Saturday.

3. Decide: Tumblr or Discord? And Check Your Username!

On the sign-up form, you will be asked to choose between Tumblr or Discord as the primary platform you will use. This will determine how you will be contacted regarding your participating in the contest, as well as how your song and vote submissions will be verified.

Once you’ve selected which platform you want to use, you will be asked to provide your username. Make sure it matches the platform you’ve actually given in the previous question! Your Tumblr username would be the same as the URL you use. Meanwhile, Discord has moved to a username system, so just use that one. Note that this is NOT referring to the nickname you use in the Tmblrvision server (or any other server)!

Keep in mind: If you do not provide a valid username corresponding to the platform you chose, I reserve the right to disregard or throw out your submission!

It’s also important to make sure that you can be contacted by DM regardless of which platform you choose, because that’s how I will confirm your participation in the contest. My Tumblr username is @renlerntdeutsch and my Discord username is eurenvision.

4. Lock In Your Five Choices

You will be required to choose FIVE different countries during sign-ups. This is in case your main choices have already been claimed by someone else. For example, if your first choice has been claimed, you will get your second choice. If both choices have been claimed, then you will get your third choice, and so on until you (hopefully) have a country by the fifth choice. Do not list countries that you know you won’t be interested in at all! You will just be potentially taking that country from someone who might actually have a song or even a national final prepared for it. Remember, unless it’s a one-to-one swap, you won’t be able to replace the country you got… but you’d have known that already if you read the rules.

A few things to keep in mind:

If you want to represent Canada, Chile, or New Zealand, you will have to select Special Guest Country

If you’d like to select an artist from Belarus, then you will have to select Independent Belarusian Artists

If you’d like to select an artist from Russia, then you will have to select Independent Russian Artists

On the form, Czech Republic is listed as Czechia, Türkiye is listed as Turkey, and the Netherlands is simply listed as Netherlands

As mentioned above, you will not be able to select an artist from Ireland

The lists are alphabetized, so it should be easy to find which countries you’re searching for. You can also type in the first few letters, if that makes it easier for you.

5. Decide If You Want To Participate At All If All Your Five Choices Are Already Taken

Unfortunately, it is possible that all five of your choices will no longer be available as they have been claimed by others who submitted their form ahead of you. You have to let me know if you would like to be contacted via the platform you selected if you’d still like to participate. If you pick Yes, then you will receive a message asking which country you’d like to claim. If you pick No, then I will assume that you are no longer interested in participating and will not be contacted further.

6. On Saturday: Check Tumblr (or tmblrvision.com) and NOT Discord!

While we do have a Discord server for the contest, the link to the sign-up form will first go up (via a scheduled post) on Tumblr (or tmblrvision.com), NOT on Discord. That said, Tumblr isn’t always great at posting scheduled posts at the right time, so the sign-up link may go up a little later than 2100 CEST, but regardless, it will be up on Tumblr before it is posted on Discord.

7. Read the Information Text NOW, Not on Saturday

There will be some text at the top of the sign-up sheet; I have posted that text here. You don’t really need to read it at all, so I’m saving you some time by letting you read it now. (I don’t even know why it’s there. Maybe in case someone accidentally opens that link without knowing what it is.)

Note that the form may show you which e-mail account you are currently logged into, if you use Gmail or the Google suite of apps. Don’t worry, this will NOT be saved and I will NOT be able to see it!

8. Country Confirmations WILL Be Delayed

Note that country confirmations will NOT go out quickly this year. Don't expect a message within an hour or so of signing up. In fact, expect a delay of at least three or four hours, though twelve hours is more realistic. Hope y'all understand!

Remember:

TMBLRVISION 2023 SIGN-UPS ARE ON SATURDAY, 15 JULY 2023, 9PM CEST! GOOD LUCK!

Tmblrvision 2023 Announcement #3: Official Rules, Plus Visual Identity (Banner/Insignia) and Slogan Reveal!

Sign-ups for Tmblrvision 2023 are this weekend (on Saturday to be exact), so it's time to release the official rules, as well as reveal the banner, insignia, and slogan for this year's contest!

The Rules

The rules can be found on this Google Docs document. They're pretty much the same as in previous years, but there's two new rules that I'd like to focus on.

This is just to prevent people from submitting a song without first getting confirmation that they are allowed to participate with the country they're submitting that song for.

This allows a few more songs to be eligible based on their release date. Basically, if a song was released as a single on an album from 1 January 2021, then it's very likely to be eligible for Tmblrvision 2023.

There's a TL;DR version of the rules at the top of the document, but if you have any specific questions, please do read through the rest of the file.

Read the rules HERE!

Banner, Insignia, and Slogan Reveal

Presenting this year's visual identity, banner, insignia, and slogan!

This year's slogan is Inside Your Glow, which is inspired by a lyric from last year's winning song.

The banner and insignia design take inspiration from this slogan, as well as elements of the Welsh flag. The font used for the slogan is Wales Sans, which is another way of putting the focus on this year's host nation.

Many thanks to @escape-radio for the graphic design for this year's edition!

Don't forget that sign-ups start this Saturday, 15 July 2023, at 9pm CEST! Check this account for the link!

Tmblrvision 2023 Announcement #1: Host City and Tentative Schedule

We're halfway through June, which means it's almost time for this year's Tmblrvision Song Contest! Some exciting announcements are coming your way in the next few weeks, and today, we'll start with two vital pieces of information.

2023 Host City

As you can see from the graphic above, this year's host city has finally been selected! After winning Tmblrvision 2022 last year with "Afterlife" by Holding Absence, Wales will be hosting this year's contest. Its capital city, Cardiff, will play host to the eighth edition of Tmblrvision!

Further details regarding the contest such as the venue, presenters, and visual identity including the insignia and slogan will be announced at a later date. (Note that this shade of green will not necessarily be the color used for the contest!)

Tentative Schedule

With the announcement of the tentative schedule, prospective Heads of Delegation can plan ahead and block off dates as necessary.

Tmblrvision season will kick off with the long-delayed Tmblrvision Retrospective 2022 on 8 July 2023, Saturday, at 8pm CEST. 40 songs across the first seven years of Tmblrvision will be played for you live on the Tmblrvision Discord server.

Tmblrvision 2023 sign-ups will then happen one week later, on 15 July 2023, Saturday, at 9pm CEST, exactly one month from now! This will be the time for prospective Heads of Delegation to claim their desired country.

Song submissions will begin shortly after sign-ups as soon as the first countries are confirmed, and will continue until 24 July 2023, Monday, at 10pm CEST. The next day, 25 July 2023, Tuesday, at 8pm CEST, the traditional live running order allocation draw will be livestreamed.

The Tmblrvision 2023 live song reveal show is tentatively scheduled for 5 August 2023, Saturday, at 8pm CEST. Voting by both the juries and the audience will commence immediately after that show, and the deadline for voting will be 19 August 2023, Saturday, at 10pm CEST, giving everyone two weeks to vote.

The Tmblrvision 2023 live results show will then happen two weeks later on either 1 or 2 September 2023, which is either a Friday or a Saturday, starting at 8pm CEST.

All dates are subject to change depending on the circumstances. Any changes will be communicated as soon as possible.

Here are the dates once again in list form:

8 July (Sa), 8pm CEST: Tmblrvision Retrospective 2022 15 July (Sa), 9pm CEST: Sign-ups 24 July (Mo), 10pm CEST: Sign-ups close, song submission deadline 25 July (Tu), 8pm CEST: Live running order allocation draw 5 August (Sa), 8pm CEST: Live song reveal show 19 August (Sa), 10pm CEST: Voting deadline 1 or 2 September (Fr or Sa), 8pm CEST: Live results show

We hope to see many of you participate in this year's contest! Be on the lookout for more announcements in the coming weeks leading up to the big event!

Hey everyone!

Eurovision has passed which means it's once again almost time for Tmblrvision, the Tumblr- and Discored-based fan contest!

If you've never heard of Tmblrvision before, basically you pick a country that you'd like to represent, then choose a song from that country and compete against other countries. There's a Eurovision-style vote, and in the end, someone wins!

Tmblrvision is scheduled for sometime in July and August this year, but before that, as always, we do a little survey for prospective Heads of Delegation. (A Head of Delegation is what we'd call whoever is representing a certain country.) Whether you've participated in the past or this would be your first time, if you're interested in joining Tmblrvision this year, I'd like to invite you to take the survey!

The survey is completely anonymous and while there are some questions regarding rules, if you are unaware or otherwise have no strong opinions, you can skip those questions. At the end of the day, I'm more interested to find out roughly how many people are potentially joining Tmblrvision this year.

The survey will be up until the end of the May 2023, so be sure to fill it out ASAP!
